Since we were together last…

What has been our greatest success?

Better working together between city government and church leaders.

25 non-profits increase 100% of the people they serve. Better capacity.

This year there is a senior pastor servant leadership team: 15 pastors. First retreat coming soon.

What has worked well?

Faith based initiatives

What is "stuck"?

Development of a shared vision for our community. It is slow.

Church training for holistic ministry is slow

What has been your biggest surprise?

Overwhelming response to Katrina among churches and then evaporation.

9000 people came to Knoxville after Katrina
